About me
I'm Kayla, a book lover, a fiction beta reader for mostly romance & fantasy, and a member of the National Writers Union. Over the years, book reading hasn't just been a hobby; I have also done it on a professional level as a freelancer and an employee helping authors and writers throughout their writing journey.
I know being an author is a mix of emotions; it can be sweet & isolating. I’m here to ensure that your efforts at the end pay off. I’m not just another manuscript “processor”, I immerse myself in your world while also refining your style without stripping away your identity.

Kayla has proved a very helpful beta reader, she has been honest in everything she has delivered, including the rare occasions where she needed to admit a mistake. Some of her comments were outstanding, and I believe they have helped me to better my story.
